what he needs is a PG that can cover his defensive mistakes in the pick and roll (cough - jeff teague), and to be matched up with a big that excels in the mid-range (cough - Al Horford) so he can camp in the post.

The defense and rebounding was where we lacked. But he got 19 points first time in forever so let's hope he keeps it up offensively but somehow gets better defensively especially on help defense and back doors.
